AskAnissa: My closet is a mess. I'm really wondering on how other people can keep their closets organize despite the number of clothes they have. We have a huge dressing room but it actually looks like a storage room. I really wanted to make my closet organized as possible so I won't have a hard time choosing my outfit so I can just simply pull it off when I need it. Hope you can help me. - Anonymous
Answer: The answer to your problem is very simple but needs ample time to set it up. Organizing a closet is just like organizing paper works on your desk. It would seem to be strenuous to arrange your stuffs but I'll help you on how to make things easier.
What you will need:
Clear Garment Bag, Matching hangers, storage boxes and a laundry hamper
The Basics
The basics are the items you wear everyday whether for work, gym, coffee or even bonding with the girls, these pieces are classic and austere to keep up your simplicity, these includes: basic cami, white cap sleeved top, black cardigan, pair of distressed jeans or a pair of denim shorts. These types of clothes remain simple and go almost perfectly with anything casual in your wardrobe.
Tip: Having matching hangers in just one style will give your closet a more systematic appearance.
The Dainty Chic
Another part of your closet would be the dainty chic. Here is where you'll position the items that are not so casual, the ones that adds up finesse to your wardrobe for a quick fashionable pick-me-up look. These are the outfits with laces, prints, satins, pleats-a Lace Front Satin Party Dress for example.
Keep Off-Season Clothes
As the season changes, choice of clothes also changes. Storing off-season outfits is a great way to maintain your closet organized and your stuffs protected. Create an instant edgy look that add sophistication to your style. Store them in another side of the closet, use hangers with another assigned color to avoid outfit confusion.
Lastly, dispose the items not necessary in your closet and just leave the stuffs you will be using inside your closet.
I have had several moms and aunts email me about what is better for kids, the Lego's or Mega Blocks. I don't know what age these kids are, but, I do want to say that there are several things to consider here:
Age of the child
Girl or Boy
Do they like to build things
Do they already have tons of sets?
I am sure you could come up with a ton of other things to consider as well, but that would be the basis for me, as well as one other consideration, and that would be the parents. Do the parents like lots of pieces? I hate giving a gift only to find out that it was never used. I have found a few Mega sets that were really popular and fun, they are below.
And another cute truck one for boys:
Here is one for an older child (6 yrs and up):
Here is a good one for girls 3 and up:

Throughout the year, we have been blessed in so many ways, friends, families and careers. We should commemorate all the good things the Lord has given us. Being so much blessed is not something that happens to everyone so when you feel that you received a lot of blessings this year then it’s just right to give thanks and share it with the people around you.
We should thank God for the bountiful blessings we receive. Landing on a good job that gives us good salary to go on with our daily lives, good health to stay in shape and if even the brand new car that we drive. Being blessed with a good relationship with your partner or children should really be thanked for because God won’t give it you unless you deserve it. Also, thank God for the gift of understanding, patience and trust.
After we thank the Lord for all the blessing he have bestowed on us, we should always thank our parents for the good things they gave us. Our family and parents especially are the best supporters we could ever have despite our differences and mistakes. They have been there to protect us, give advice and keep us away from danger so we have to thank them in any possible way we could. Our parents are great providers and give us everything we need. They have been continuing to support us with the path we want to take even though it’s not the things that they really wanted for us. They have been generously giving us good food, good education, comfortable clothes and everything else from childhood to where we are today. Thank them for being the best parents we could ever have.
Thanksgiving is the time of the year wherein we could celebrate and give thanks to our Lord that he gave us all we deserved. We should not take for granted the things he has been given because he can always take it away from you if he thinks that you don’t know how to be grateful with the blessings he is giving you.It doesn’t have to be an expensive celebration, just a simple gathering wherein all your family members are present and together you say a little prayer for the bountiful blessings you have received for the year.
